[quote]Wagner’s peak is better than Hoffman & blows Smith out of the water. His ERA+ is light years better than these guys that were career relievers. In fact I’d guess it would be 2nd or 3rd to Marino if they were all on paper.[/quote] This is like a foreign language to people who only care abo...
[quote]As a few posters have said, I would kill the CCGs, play two rounds in December, semis on NYD, championship a week later. Not sure if that's doable.[/quote] They won't kill the CCG's because they make money. At some point, they'll change them to play-in games, but either way they're playing...
[quote]Gets lost with the NFL playoffs[/quote] It’s probably already been said but the solution is moving everything up a week. Semis on NYD and the natty before the NFL playoffs start. Worst case, you play it the night after the wild card round. ...

re: Ravens 25 @ Bills 27 Final - CBS

Posted by Cliff Booth on 1/19/25 at 6:10 pm
It’s just an over officiated game. Bias or not, too much ticky tack shite. ...
[quote]If stabler, Namath, Bradshaw, McMahon, Montana, staubach, et al can take monstrous hits[/quote] Add Aikman to that list. It literally shortened his career, which is why he’s outspoken about it IMO. He’s right and I appreciate it as a fan. Mahomes is great but it’s a lot easier to make ...

re: Redskins 45 @ Lions 31 Final

It’s inexcusable to not fix that missed call with all the cameras and tech they have. Buzz down, wasn’t a face mask, sorry we fricked up, 4th down. How does this not happen? ...

re: #7 and #8 in title game prove

Posted by Cliff Booth on 1/18/25 at 8:58 pm
The results of a tournament don’t “prove” anything. Crowns a champ. That’s it. ...
Our friend Keith Law left him off as well. More from Keith: [quote]CC Sabathia is the other new candidate for whom I voted, and he just squeaks over the line for me; his performance is quite comparable to that of Andy Pettitte, for whom I have never voted, but Sabathia’s reputation around the gam...
I can’t help but be a little sad that Ohio St. Losing to Michigan and finishing 3rd in their conference essentially doesn’t matter anymore. I guess I sound like an old man but that takes so much away from what college football was IMHO. ...
[quote]Or is it just the perceived energy around the program that makes Freeman so great?[/quote] Yes. The talking heads like him. They don’t like BK. It’s intellectually dishonest to act like beating Indiana, Gunnar Stockton, and Drew Allar is what BK couldn’t do. He couldn’t beat pre-po...
[quote]Pressure is on BK now[/quote] It’s been Natty or bust since the moment he decided to leave ND. If he gets one, he was right. If he doesn’t, he was wrong. Fair or not that’s the deal and nothing happening right now changes that. ...

re: NFL Various Games - Week 18

The late slide and the outraged QB is getting so fricking old. If you don’t want to get hit, get down. Then just walks off while his teammates do the fighting for him. ...
[quote]I think the more important point is how these 2 'black' coaches don't carry or surround themselves with the culture. Maybe that should be pointed out.[/quote] Sounds like their mommas raised em right. ...

re: NIU to join the MWC

Posted by Cliff Booth on 1/3/25 at 3:02 pm
This is a weird one. If they joined the old MW, I'd get it, but the new MW is gonna have a hard time getting the G5 spot in the playoff. Not sure that's worth knocking all your other sports down to a lower tier conference. ...

re: 16 team playoff

Posted by Cliff Booth on 1/2/25 at 8:16 pm
Tbh I’ll be surprised if they don’t make it 16 teams in 2026. People in charge have no shame and they know as much as people may bitch they’ll still watch. ...
[quote]They make a LOT of money for the league. I don't think they will do it until they replace that revenue somehow.[/quote] Exactly, so the game isn't going anywhere. One thing you could do is make it a play-in game instead of a championship game. Like it or not, I think the day is coming wher...
Still remember being on the edge of my seat watching Peterson come agonizingly close to the record. ...

[quote]And ratings are still up[/quote] While true, OP made it clear he’s talking about in person attendance and even lamented the role TV plays at the end of his post. ...
